Thanks Anna…I appreciate the reminder that it doesn’t have to be earth-shattering to be “hard.” Suceeding (with Christ’s help) in the small and personally challenging “itsy-bitsy” stuff is hard (and God-glorifying) as well!

Anna, that is so good! What a simple but profound thought! It’s especially easy to feel that what you are doing is useless for the kingdom of God when you are a teenager like me – but if it weren’t for the “little things” people do/have done, where would we be?

Thank you for posting that!

how true it is and how sad also that most young people and even older folks us pride and gloryifying themselves to “do Gods work”. You are so right Anna, we need to really take it upon ourselves to do the little things. We are the servants of God, and if you think about what it means to be a servant… it means to do the little things for someone else.

We serve God therefore we are commanded to make the little things a big priority. We just forget sometimes.

That is very true! I have been thinking on things related to this topic a lot lately.

“I love to think that, were it not for thousands upon thousands of ordinary Christians all around the world doing small hard things every day, so much would be different.”

I love that. Good post. I also suspect that while big hard things catch our attention, the little hard things may actually be harder, because we do them when no one is there to applaud us.
